+## Overview
 
 `intent` is an LLM-based reranker library that offers ranking, filtering, and choice all with explicit, inspectable reasoning.

 ## Configuration

 - Increase it when you have larger batches, longer summaries, or slower models.
 - Decrease it when you prefer quick fallbacks over waiting.
 
-If we timeout, we never throw an error; instead, we return the original
-results.
+### Error handling
+
+Intent is designed to fail gracefully. On **any** LLM error (timeout, invalid API
+key, rate limit, malformed response), we return items in their original order
+rather than throwing. This ensures your application keeps working even when the
+LLM is unavailable.
+
+- `rank()` → returns all candidates in original order
+- `filter()` → returns all candidates (nothing filtered out)
+- `choice()` → returns the first candidate
+
+When `{ explain: true }` is set, failed calls return empty explanation strings.
